Truly an independent voice...Louis Vervaeke backs up your point, says Kirsch was at fault
Louis Vervaeke, Remco's team mate, or a different, impartial Louis Vervaeke?Louis Vervaeke backs up your point, says Kirsch was at fault
"Someone called Remco's name. Remco doesn't want to hinder the sprinters so he looked to make sure he could move out of the way. Hirsch cut off his front wheel, and he already wasn't my best friend."Can you translate this comment from Vervaeke better than Google can?
Ploeg komt met nieuwe update over Evenepoel, die "veel pijn" had: "Donderdag wordt moeilijke dag" | sporza
Remco Evenepoel is niet ongeschonden uit de spekgladde vijfde etappe gekomen in de Giro. De wereldkampioen viel tweemaal en was na de aankomst niet bereikbaar voor commentaar, al kon onze man ter plaatse toch even poolshoogte nemen. "Ik heb veel pijn", luidde het. Later op de avond kwam zijn...sporza.be
I have no idea what this means
""Remco's first fall was not bad, we still have to wait for the second. How did the second happen? Remco heard his name and wanted to leave the drumming. That made him look to the right, but Kirsch (Trek-Segafredo, ed.) - and that's not my best friend - cut off his pace.""
You said that "Evenepoel's swerve is not that severe untill the Trek rider clips him" was demonstrably false. Yet it is your claim that proves to be demonstrably false. His swerve was not that severe. Only after his wheel was clipped, which is after the incident that caused the crash, did he have no longer control over his bike and did he swerve severely. His initial swerve is not severe and as shown on the images for anyone who has their eyes open, not nearly as hard as the swerve of the Trek rider. The Trek rider comes from behind, so obviously he can see Evenepoel. If Evenepoel swerved into his trajectory, he swerved much harder into Evenepoel's trajectory.The Trek rider was looking where he was going...Infantapoel was not. He was looking in the opposite directon when he started his move, and your picture does not represent that reality.
You’ve got a lot of excuses… the picture already made it very clear, then it’s backed up by another rider. But all of that isn’t good enough.Truly an independent voice...
I'm sure it would have gone down perfectly in the team in general and with Evenepoel in particular if he'd said anything else. So I'm also sure we should take this as a completely unbiased, impartial and conflict of interest-free account of what happened.Louis Vervaeke backs up your point, says Kirsch was at fault
they were busy with Dainese so far. Give them another moment!Tomorrow's stage will likely be cancelled because the time keepers will not yet have published the results of today's stage....
I love images that have been cropped enough that we can't see where the sides of the road are. Makes it impossible to say whether the centre of both images are at the same point relative to the sides of the road, and also impossible to know whether it's deliberate if they aren't. But of course, someone as unbiased as you would never think of tampering with images like that, right?Anyone who understands logic would read everything.

Here is how demonstrably false they are:
His swerve was severe...because he was looking left and moved right into the path of the Trek rider. I also indicted that the Trek rider made a mistake, but Remco made the biggest mistake.You said "Evenepoel's swerve is not that severe untill the Trek rider clips him" was demonstrably false. Yet it is your claim that proves to be demonstrably false. His swerve was not that severe.

The Trek rider comes from behind, so obviously he can see Evenepoel.
Again, i'm not saying Evenepoel is without blame, but the "100% completely his own fault" comments are laughable. The Trek rider shares the blame.
Still remember that stage at the 2007 Giro d'Italia when Popovych and nearly his whole group crashed and slided over the finish line.Yeah, the dust and sand on the road (mainly in Southern Italy) is like soap once it gets wet.
Indeed. You can overlay both images if you want. They are scaled to size and pinned to match with the rider to Evenepoel's left as reference. Does it not fit your desired outcome? Does it not match your unbiased opinion?I love images that have been cropped enough that we can't see where the sides of the road are. Makes it impossible to say whether the centre of both images are at the same point relative to the sides of the road, and also impossible to know whether it's deliberate if they aren't.

So you agree with my initial point. He is not the only one to blame. Then why have you been debating me all the time?His swerve was severe...because he was looking left and moved right into the path of the Trek rider. I also indicted that the Trek rider made a mistake, but Remco made the biggest mistake.
Looked through the results and everybody finished the stage at least. Uran and vine seem to have both lost a minuteWell, I hope every rider who crashed today is okay, or as okay the as situation allows.
